BETTER WAY by Benjamin John

Hello there,
here's my attempt at mixing this song
The song itself - a really great tune, I had loads of fun working with it.
Even though there's a little bit more of work to be done with de essing I decided to share my version with guys now either way!
What do you think?

The first thing I noticed was excessive compression, which might be cause for future de-essing, although I did not sense too many esses at my listening level. It just sounds a bit squashed to my liking. The individual sounds are fine. I also feel you are being very conservative with your panning. I might suggest doing some discreet stereo buss compression on instrument groups and dial back on any master buss compression.
